Abbey Clancy has joined the legions of gorgeous women who credit International Colourist and the UK’s leading Balayage expert Jack Howard with creating their dream colour.

Jack is colourist to Poppy and Chloe Delevingne, Suki Waterhouse, Gillian Anderson, Vanessa Kirby, Donna Air, Ola Rudnicka, Ana Beatriz Barros, Clara Paget, Mollie King, Aluna Francis of Aluna George, Chloe Hayward, Georgia Salpa, Hofit Golan, and is the official colourist to Next Model Management. Jack says,

Abbey's mum first started coming to me for her balayage and Abbey wanted to be blonder, so we looked through my Instagram for inspiration and decided that as she already had beautiful highlights, some freehand highlights would add another dimension. There’s an emerging trend of hybrid techniques like babylights (done in foils or plastic wrap) and balayage – this was the way to go for her to add more dimension and softness. One dimensional foil highlights are so dated now, they don't cut it in terms of a flattering, 3 dimensional colour, which is best done freehand.

Jack’s babylights technique is also worn by the likes of Poppy Delevingne and Gillian Anderson; Abbey Instagrammed after her appointment, amassing nearly 3,000 likes,

Hair by king of balayage @jackhoward_srh @pauledmonds217 thank you for making me blonde again.

Jack is widely credited with introducing balayage to the UK and his celeb fans love the natural, sun kissed, low maintenance colour he creates.
